Encounter Restaurant at Los Angeles International Airport. Gadget made all the chairs inside! Tres cool - very George Jetson!

The inside of Encounter. Notice the single stem chair, bolted into the floor at the bar - a custom Gadget creation!

The very modern Tuffet stool (in the MOMA Mutant Materials Show). Shown here is the KrAb version, created with Gadget's former partner. This is the Gadgetized version, with rounded legs, and leather seat.

The entry to Softimage, Santa Monica. Tiki lamp in orange shade, red Lounge Chairs, low stools in blue fabric and wood, glass and wood coffee table, and reception desk made of steel with mail slots

The design of the Softimage interior was the result of a request from the programmers who worked there. They said "We work in the virtual world, we don't want to be surrounded by plastic". The result is the use of more natural materials: wood, steel and fabric. These workstations are on caster wheels with removable doors. The entire unit can be moved around to form "pods, work groups which make for a more efficient office(less walking from cubicle to cubicle), and privacy for group members' concentration!

Softimage pods could be rolled together and opened up to create larger pods for workteams.

Four-part conference table, designed and built for the new Softimage headquarters in Santa Monica. Base is made from one trunk of one tree!

This conference table/media storage unit was designed and fabricated for the producer/director Wim Wenders. His challenge? He needed a storage facility for his massive LP/CD collection, but also needed a conference tale and didn't have room for two pieces in the same room. This piece, designed by Touraine & Olivier, solves the problem. The bottom drawers are for LP's and the smaller drawers are for CD's. With the mere flick of a finger, the top slides out as shown, both front and back, and the sides flip up and lock. Both actions are assisted with gas-pressurized cylinders. The surface is brushed aluminum, with brass end pieces, and a maple interior. It comes apart in easily manageable pieces for moving!

Cold steel rustic bar, from Gadget's "heavy" time period (80's). Stable enough to hold six people - dancing!

Gadget's series of stacking office chairs. Three styles to choose from, including bar stool height in the Officina style (far right).

A house by David Hertz. Made the metal staircase and Tuffet stools.
